Romans 7:1-3

Tree of Life Version

Two Laws at War

7 Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I speak to those who know law), that the law is master over a person as long as he lives? ² For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives; but if the husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. ³ So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law—so she is not an adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
